A Female Passenger Drove for the Heavy-eyed Taxi Driver

 

We all work to give food on the table and survive daily. This is why some, even at young ages, are already working. Some are also working even in their old ages because they have families to support. As a citizen, extending your hand will ease them in any sort of.

An example of doing a good deed is when a passenger drove on behalf of the taxi driver. She is Christina Tan Villanueva who was thoughtful enough to help the 70-year-old taxi driver. Tatay was hesitant at first, according to Christina, but later on, agreed. It is visible on Tatay’s face the fatigue and sleep deprivation.

“First time kong mag drive ng taxi . Haha. While on the road sabi ni tatay (taxi driver) lipat nalang daw ako dahil hindi nya kaya mag drive sa sobrang antok, sabi ko delikado naman kung baba ako somewhere hindi ko alam kung makakasakay agad ako so I insisred ako na ang mag drive dahil hindi malayo pa ang bahay ko from  our location at frist ayaw niya nahihiya at akala nya hindi ako marunong mag drive ng manial. Pero pinilit ko nalang para maka idlip sya habang traffic. Nung ako na ang nag ddrive nakatulog agad sya at humihilik pa.”

“Habang nasa byahe ang dami pumapara sa taxi tapos nagugulat at natatawa dahil babae ang driver. Anyway, 70yrs old na si tatay sabi nya panahon pa ni marcos taxi driver na sya at puro babae anak nya kaya naghahanap buhay pa rin till now.Ginising ko nalang si tatay nung nakarating na kami sa bahay ko. Wala lang gusto ko lang I share kasi first time ko. Haha,” Christina narrated.

Let us continue to succor anyone who is in need, surely we can in any way. And the story shared by Christina is living proof that goodness and the spirit of helping others still exist in this world.
